I am a French-Canadian born, Australia-based painter working primarily in oil. My practice moves along the shifting threshold between observed reality and imagined experience, where perception is never fixed and memory quietly alters what is seen.

Rooted in a classical technical foundation shaped by decades of study, my work increasingly unfolds through intuition and improvisation. I frequently revisit the natural world, not as a subject to record, but as something I internalise and reassemble. The landscapes of my upbringing in Quebec continue to echo through my work, resurfacing as atmosphere, light, and fragmented forms.

Water, vegetation, and organic structures appear as recurring presences, though they rarely remain stable. They dissolve, shift, and re-form, becoming carriers for states of memory rather than representations of place. In this way, the landscape becomes less external and more psychological.

In recent years, I have moved away from photographic reference, allowing the painting process itself to lead. What emerges is less premeditated and more discovered—compositions that grow into themselves, often moving toward a quiet surrealism where the familiar becomes uncertain.

I work between control and surrender, allowing structure and chance to coexist. I intend to create spaces that hold ambiguity—where stillness, transformation, and perception exist in a continuous state of negotiation.
